Police have linked some of the property found in the car to a burglary at a farm near Bashan Rd, Waddamana. Police have asked other property owners to check their farm buildings and shacks and report any missing items.

Inspector Matt McCreadie, who led the search effort, said Tasmania Police would protect life and property no matter how people get into difficulties.

“The families of these men did the right thing reporting them missing,” he said.
